At 1:20 p.m. on July 13, 2025, at the Forensic Institute of the Police Hospital, a mother named Nid arrived to identify the remains of her daughter, Ms. Nampip (Ice), and her son-in-law, Mr. Suwicha (Lee), a staff member at Sanam Luang Palace. Both died in a fire at a beer shop in Bangkok's Ladphrao district.

Mother Nid traveled from Nakhon Nayok Province to confirm their deaths. Through tears, she revealed that she is currently caring for the couple's two children, ages 4 and 5, while the parents were living in another province. Her son-in-law was hardworking and supported the family; he held a government position while also driving a Bolt taxi under the name "Bolt Camouflage" to earn extra income. He freely transported patients, students, pregnant women, and the elderly as his contribution to society. Her daughter had recently graduated as a teacher and was employed as a computer instructor at a private school.

An investigation of the TikTok account "Bolt Camouflage" shows that Lee had 146,000 followers and over 3.2 million likes. His profile stated that organ donors, people with disabilities, pregnant women, and students ride free. He had posted multiple clips of helping passengers and the community. Following confirmation of their deaths, thousands of followers left condolences, mourning the loss of someone known for his goodness and generosity.
